Abstract:
A magnetic head assembly (32) comprising first and second core assemblies (37, 39) of different types and properties. The first core assembly (37) is of a leading erase type for the perpendicular magnetic recording system, while the second one (39) is of a tunnel erase type for the longitudinal magnetic recording system. These core assemblies (37, 39) are arranged on either side of a slider groove (36). When used with the dopble-sided recording system, they are both located on one side of the alider groove.
Abstract:
An electromagnetically controlled scanning magnetic transducer has two confronting magnetic core portions (21, 22) with poles defining a transducing gap (26). A control winding (38,39) is arranged in each core portion to provide a control flux therein. The control windings are arranged such that a steep magnetic permeability versus flux density characteristic across the transducer width is obtained. The control flux saturates a portion of each core at the transducer face adjacent to the gap. The saturated core portions define adjacent nonsaturated highly permeable core portions which overlap across the gap to obtain a transducing zone. The transducing zone can be altered, moved, scanned or otherwise positioned along the transducer width by electromagnetically controlling the saturated core portions.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a magnetic head for recording and reading out of a magnetic recording medium (1) in a perpendicular magnetic recording system covered on its surface which is close to the recording medium (1) with glasslike carbon material (16) so as to improve lubrication property with the recording medium (1) and prevent abrasion.
Abstract:
A magnetic head includes ferromagnetic amorphous alloy multi-layerfilms (16) each composed of an alternate lamination of ferromagnetic amorphous alloy layers (19) and magnetic spacer layers (20). The thickness of each ferromagnetic amorphous alloy layer (19) is of 1 µm to 10 µm. The thickness of each magnetic spacer layer (20) is of 0.01 µm to 0.2 µm. The ferromagnetic amorphous alloy multi-layer films (16) constitute at least parts of the head core.
Abstract:
lon implantation is conducted in a desired area(s) of the surface of a magnetic layer, and annealing of the layer is carried out to control the composition in that desired area(s). The control of the composition may be facilitated by applying a one-directional or rotating magnetic field during ion implantation. In preparing a magnetic head, a portion of a magnetic pole at least on one side thereof in close proximity to a magnetic recording medium is formed into an iron or iron-based magnetic alloy film, at least part of which is subjected to ion implantation and annealing.
Abstract:
A magnetic head is provided having a core of a soft-magnetic material with a comparatively low saturation magnetization and layers of a soft-magnetic material having a higher saturation magnetization than the material of the core on the gap-bounding faces. In order to avoid the detrimental effects of the non-magnetic transition zones between the material of the core and the layers of soft-magnetic material, which transition zones as it were form subsidiary gaps, the layers of soft-magnetic material on the gap-bounding faces have different thicknesses.
Abstract:
A magneto-electronic device comprising a substrate (1) on which a first body (21) and a second body (22) of magnetic material are provided, whereby the magnetization (M2) of at least the second body (22) is not fixed, the two bodies (21, 22) being substantially coplanar and mutually isolated, and being mutually connected via a layer (3) of semi-conductor material in which a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas can be generated.
Abstract:
A transducer (48) for a hard disk drive has a magnetic core (66) and a pair of poletips (44) that project transversely from the core for sliding contact with the disk during reading and writing. The transducer is formed entirely of thin films in the shape of a low profile table having three legs that slide on the disk, the poletips being exposed at a bottom of one of the legs for high resolution communication with the disk, the throat height of the poletips affording sufficient tolerance to allow for wear. The transducer includes a loop shaped core of magnetic material that ends at the poletips, the core extending further parallel than perpendicular to the disk surface. The dimensions of the yoke adjacent to the poletips are designed to avoid saturation at the poletips by saturating at a lower flux in the yoke than the poletips.
Abstract:
A thin-film head (2) contains a conductor of magnetic flux similar to an annular head with two magnetic arms (6, 7), which is partially embedded in a depression (12) in a non-magnetic substrate. Each arm (6, 7) has a magnetic layer (6a and 7a, respectively), which forms a magnetic pole (P1 and P2, respectively) at a pole point (8 and 9, respectively), and a magnetic amplification layer (6b and 7b, respectively). This magnetic head should be easy to manufacture and should allow high magnetic flux densities in its conductor. To this end, only the amplification layer (6b) in the magnetic arm (6) facing the substrate (12) is arranged in the depression (12) in the substrate (3) in such a way that its surface (13) lies in the same plane (E) as the surface (14) of the substrate.
